The full-size Mercury was redesigned for 1957 and grew considerably larger as well, riding on an exclusive 122 in. wheelbase, and was 211.1 in. in length. A new frame design allowed a lower floor which made the car lower and longer. The 1958 model brought quad headlamps, as well as an all-new engine: the 383 cu. in. With the new engine came the Multi-Drive three-speed automatic transmission.
Available options for the Monterey included a continental kit for the spare tire, whitewall tires, air conditioning, power steering and brakes, a heater, and a radio. Interestingly, very few cars were originally ordered with air conditioning, making the option quite desirable today.
Like most of the American market, the 1958 Mercury Monterey was impacted by the recession, and production of the model was cut to about 50,000 cars, or about 1/3 of the 1957 production total. Minor trim changes were made to the outside of the vehicle, and the 312-cid V-8 was dropped. The 383-cid V-8 became standard with 312 horsepower, and an optional 430-cid with triple two-barrel carburetors was added, delivering 400 horsepower.
It’s hard to believe that after so many years, you could be cruising in this beautiful 58’ Mercury Monterey!
